Traditionally, in China and Korea, only monks did Zen practice. But Zen has come to the West and here lay people practice Zen besides monks and nuns. This has changed the character of Zen. Now our teaching is about Zen in everyday life. Sitting Zen all the time is not possible for lay people. Everyday-life Zen means learning mind-sitting. Mind-sitting means not-moving mind. How do you keep not-moving mind? Put down your opinion, condition and situation moment-to-moment. When you are doing something, just do it. This is everyday Zen. Sitting meditation is a particular kind of meditation, unique to Zen, that functions centrally as the very heart of the practice.
For lay people, the teaching of great love, great compassion and the Great Bodhisattva Way is very important. To attain that, it is necessary to keep a not-moving mind, then correct situation, correct function, and correct relationship appear by themselves in everyday life.
We tend to see body, breath, and mind separately, but in meditation they become one. The first thing is to pay attention to the body position during sitting. How you position your body has a lot to do with what happens with your mind and your breath. Throughout the years of evolution of Buddhism, the most effective position of the body for sitting meditation has been the posture of the seated Buddha. Sitting on the floor or a mat is recommended, because it is very stable. We use a cushion to raise the rear just a little, so that the knees can touch the ground. With your bottom on the pillow and two knees touching the ground, you form a tripod base that gives firmness and stability.
There are several different leg positions that are possible while seated this way. The first and simplest is the Burmese position, in which the legs are crossed and both feet rest flat on the floor.
Another position is the half lotus, where the left foot is placed up onto the right thigh and the right leg is tucked under. This position is slightly asymmetrical and sometimes the upper body needs to compensate in order to keep itself absolutely straight.
By far the most stable of all the positions is the full lotus, where each foot is placed up on the opposite thigh. This is perfectly symmetrical and very solid.
Stability and efficiency are the important reasons sitting cross-legged works so well. There is absolutely no esoteric significance to the different positions. What is most important in sitting meditation is what you do with your mind, not what you do with your feet or legs.
The knees should also rest on the floor, though sometimes it takes a bit of exercise to be able to get the legs to drop that far. After a while the muscles will loosen up and the knees will begin to drop. To help that happen, sit on the front third of the cushion, shifting your body forward a little bit. By imagining the top of your head pushing upward to the ceiling and by stretching your body that way, get your spine straight - then just let the muscles go soft and relax. With the buttocks up on the cushion and your stomach pushing out a little, there will be a slight curve in the lower region of the back. In this position, it takes very little effort to keep the body upright.
FACE, MOUTH and NOSE
Once you've positioned yourself, there are a few other things you can check on. The mouth is kept closed. If possible, breathe through your nose. The tongue is pressed lightly against the upper palate. This reduces the need to salivate and swallow. The eyes are kept lowered, with your gaze resting on the ground about 70 to 100 cm in front of you. Your eyes will be mostly covered by your eyelids, which eliminates the necessity to blink repeatedly. The chin is slightly tucked in. Although the position during sitting meditation looks very disciplined, the muscles should be soft. There should be no tension in the body. It doesn't take strength to keep the body straight. The nose is centered in line with the navel, the upper torso leaning neither forward nor back.
The hands are folded in the cosmic mudra. The dominant hand is held palm up holding the other hand, also palm up, so that the knuckles of both hands overlap. Your right hand is holding the left hand. The thumbs are lightly touching, thus the hands form an oval, which can rest on the upturned soles of your feet if you're sitting full lotus. If you're sitting Burmese, the mudra can rest on your thighs. The cosmic mudra is exactly in the place of your energetic center - hara or tantien - thus tends to turn your attention inward.
One of the most simple and basic techniques of meditation is to focus on the breath. It is always with us - anytime, anywhere. The word "spirit" means breath. The words "ki" in Japanese and "chi" in Chinese, meaning power or energy, both derive from breath. Breath is the vital force; it's the central activity of our bodies. Mind and breath are one reality: when your mind is agitated your breath is agitated; when you're nervous, you breathe quickly and shallowly; when your mind is at rest, the breath is deep, easy, and effortless.
It is important to center your attention in the tantien (danjeon (Kor.) hara (Jap.) Your tantien is located two inches below the navel. It's the physical and spiritual center of the body. Put your attention there; put your mind there. As you practice sitting meditation more, you'll become more aware of the tantien as the center of your awareness. Conceive of this point as the beginning and end of all phenomena that arise in the mind. In Zen we say, "This is your don't know center', as your mind is truly before thinking if you focus on your tantien.
We can use several techniques to keep a mind which is clear like space, clear like a mirror:
- Perceiving Sound
This form of meditation involves just sitting and being aware of the sound(s) or silence in this moment. You hear the birds on the trees, the cars going by, the planes overhead, and the children playing outside. While perceiving the sounds, turn your attention inwards and experience what it is that perceives the sound. You will notice that your thinking interrupts this perception and takes you away from the moment into a mind which has past, present or future. If this happens, return to this moment by perceiving the sounds again. If you have too much thinking, you may find the next technique more useful.
- Keeping a Question
Traditionally the question which precedes all other question is called "hwadu" or "hua tou". Literally, this means "word head", the root of all phenomena that arise in the mind. Our substance, our Buddha nature can be addressed usually with "What is this?" or "What am I?". If you let all the answers that appeared disappear, you will enter don't know, which is the purpose of keeping the question. Repeat the question at every in-breath, and do not attach to or identify with any verbal answer which appears. Keep the question until all thinking disappears, and your mind becomes clear like space, clear like a mirror.
- Keeping a mantra
If your thinking is still too rampant, you may recite a mantra, paying attention to it and letting all thoughts disappear. This takes some practice since it is very easy to let one part of the brain 'chant' the mantra while the other part is thinking about dinner or going to the movies. When this happens, gently bring the mind back to the mantra without any judgment. The shorter the mantra, the easier it is to grasp it and use it, though in the long run any length of mantra is good. Keep the mantra without being attached to it, and perceive where it comes from. Then the result should be the same as with the other two techniques.
If your mind wanders off, simply return to the moment, return to your practice you have chosen. Even if you want to change your technique, give yourself enough time to explore what you have initially chosen.
Do not suppress anything which arises in the mind, also do not follow it. Let it appear before your mind-mirror, and if there has to be a solution to the issue or an answer to a question, it will appear by itself. Do not try to force this with your thinking.
If you persist with not moving body, not moving speech and not moving mind, your karma will gradually grow less and less. Do not attach to any experience. Use your growing wisdom and compassion to help this world.
Last but not least: these instructions are neither perfect, nor complete, they serve as the first step only. You need a living teacher, a teaching you can connect with, and a student's group where you can practice together with other people. Thus you attain the meaning of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the three Precious Jewels, which are the pillars of our practice.
We close this chapter with the same four Bodhisattva vows as we recite at the end of our practice sessions:
Sentient beings are numberless,
we vow to save them all
Delusions are endless,
we vow to cut through them all
The teachings are infinite,
we vow to learn them all
The Buddha Way is inconceivable,
we vow to attain it.

This HowTo explains how to create a new file filter for use with OmegaT by describing the creation of a rudimentary file filter for the TMX format. Although it might seem strange to want to translate TMX files (the usual reason for creating a file filter), the addition of a TMX filter has the interesting effect that it enables TMX files in any location to be searched for from within any OmegaT project using the "Search Files" function, something not possible in the standard OmegaT build.
For compiling OmegaT from the source code, see Compiling OmegaT from Source HowTo.
Select an existing filter for a format similar to that for the new filter. In this example, the Help & Manual filter has been selected as a basis.
Locate the folder src/org/omegat/filters3/xml, and make a copy the subfolder /helpandmanual, naming it /tmx. In this folder, rename the two files HelpandManualDialect.java and HelpandManualFilter.java to TmxDialect.java and TmxFilter.java respectively.
Open the files TMXDialect.java and TMX filter in a text editor. In both files, search for (matching the case) and replace:
"helpandmanual" with "tmx"
"HelpAndManual" with "TMX"
"HELPANDMANUAL" with "TMX"
"Help & Manual" with "TMX"
"Help&Manual" with "TMX"
Identify the paragraph-level tag(s) for your new file format. To find out what the paragraph tags should be, examine a sample file in a text editor. In TMX, the paragraph-level tag corresponding to a segment is "tu".
In TMXDialect.java:
Define the paragraph tags, in this case by changing the line:
defineParagraphTags(new String[] { "caption", "config-value", "variable", "para", "title", "keyword", "li", });
defineParagraphTags(new String[] { "tu", });
You can delete the line:
defineShortcut("link", "li");
as it is irrelevant to TMX, although the new filter will still work if you do not.
You can define out-of-turn tags. These define subsegments that are presented outside the segment in which they are contained (footnotes are a good example). To do this for the TMX filter, insert the line
defineOutOfTurnTags(new String[] { "sub", });
beneath the line
defineParagraphTags(new String[] { "tu", });
The filter will however still work if you do not do this.
Beneath these lines, you can also insert the code:
defineIntactTags(new String[]
This will make the display of the TMX files neater, but again, it is not absolutely essential.
In TMXFilter.java:
Change the file extension, in this case to .tmx, by changing the line:
public Instance[] getDefaultInstances() {
return new Instance[] { new Instance("*.xml", null, null), new Instance("*.hmxp", null, null), };
public Instance[] getDefaultInstances() {
return new Instance[] { new Instance("*.tmx", null, null), };
In the folder /src/org/omegat, open the file Bundle.properties in a text editor and find the lines
# HelpAndManualFilter.java
HELPANDMANUAL_FILTER_NAME=Help & Manual Files
Below these lines, insert the lines
# TMXFilter.java
TMX_FILTER_NAME=TMX files
(If you wish to launch OmegaT with a user interface language other than English, make the same change in the relevant localized Bundle.properties file.)
In the main folder of the source code, open the file manifest-template.mf in a text editor. Find the lines:
Name: org.omegat.filters3.xml.helpandmanual.HelpAndManualFilter
OmegaT-Plugin: filter
Below them, insert the lines:
Name: org.omegat.filters3.xml.tmx.TMXFilter
OmegaT-Plugin: filter
Compile as described in the Compiling OmegaT from Source HowTo. Launch the newly compiled version. Check in Options > File Filters that the new filter is present. To check whether it works, you can place a TMX file in the /source folder of a project, or (more useful) perform a Text Search > Search files operation on TMX files.

Stanford studies monks' meditation, compassion
Medical research
Stanford neuroeconomist Brian Knutson is an expert in the pleasure center of the brain that works in tandem with our financial decisions - the biology behind why we bypass the kitchen coffeemaker to buy the $4 Starbucks coffee every day.
He can hook you up to a brain scanner, take you on a simulated shopping spree and tell by looking at your nucleus accumbens - an area deep inside your brain associated with fight, flight, eating and fornicating - how you process risk and reward, whether you're a spendthrift or a tightwad.
So when his colleagues saw him putting Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns into the MRI machine in the basement of the Stanford psychology building, he drew a few double-takes.
Knutson is still interested in the nucleus accumbens, which receives a dopamine hit when a person anticipates something pleasant, like winning at blackjack.
Only now he wants to know if the same area of the brain can light up for altruistic reasons. Can extending compassion to another person look the same in the brain as anticipating something good for oneself? And who better to test than Tibetan monks, who have spent their lives pursuing a state of selfless nonattachment?
Meditation science
The "monk study" at Stanford is part of an emerging field of meditation science that has taken off in the last decade with advancements in brain image technology, and popular interest.
"There are many neuroscientists out there looking at mindfulness, but not a lot who are studying compassion," Knutson said. "The Buddhist view of the world can provide some potentially interesting information about the subcortical reward circuits involved in motivation."
By looking at expert meditators, neuroscientists hope to get a better picture of what compassion looks like in the brain. Does a monk's brain behave differently than another person's brain when the two are both extending compassion? Is selflessness innate, or can it be learned?
Looking to the future, neuroscientists wonder whether compassion can be neurologically isolated, if one day it could be harnessed to help people overcome depression, to settle children with hyperactivity, or even to rewire a psychopath.
"Right now we're trying to first develop the measurement of compassion, so then one day we can develop the science around it," Knutson said.
Stress reduction
Thirty years ago, medical Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn used meditation as the basis for his revolutionary "Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program." He put people with chronic pain and depression through a six-week meditation practice in the basement of the University of Massachusetts Medical School and became one of the first practitioners to record meditation-related health improvements in patients with intractable pain. His stress-reduction techniques are now used in hospitals, clinics and by HMOs.
"In the last 25 years there's been a tidal shift in the field, and now there are 300 scientific papers on mindfulness," said Emiliana Simon-Thomas, science director for the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley.
People who meditate show more left-brain hemisphere dominance, according to meditation studies done at the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"Essentially when you spend a lot of time meditating, the brain shows a pattern of feeling safe in the world and more comfortable in approaching people and situations, and less vigilant and afraid, which is more associated with the right hemisphere," she said.
Effect on aging
The most comprehensive scientific study of meditation, the Shamatha Project led by scientists at UC Davis, indicates meditation leads to improved perception and may even have some effect on cellular aging.
Volunteers who spent an average of 500 hours in focused-attention meditation during a three-month retreat in 2007 were better than the control group at detecting slight differences in the length of lines flashed on a screen.
When researchers compared blood samples between the two groups, they found the retreat population had 30 percent more telomerase - the enzyme in cells that repairs the shortening of chromosomes that occurs throughout life. This could have implications for the tiny protective caps on the ends of DNA known as telomeres, which have been linked to longevity.
"This does not mean that if you meditate, you're going to live longer," said Clifford Saron, a research neuroscientist leading the study at the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain.
"It's an empirical question at this point, but it's remarkable that a sense of purpose in life, a belief that your goals and values are coming more into alignment with your past and projected future is likely affecting something at the level of your molecular biology," Saron said.
Knutson's monk study at Stanford is in its early stages. He has some data collected from Stanford undergrads to use as part of the control group, but he still needs more novice meditators and monks to go into the MRI machine. It's an expensive proposition. Subjects are in the machine for eight to 12 hours a day, for three days, at $500 an hour.
Dalai Lama donation
Knutson's study is funded by Stanford's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, which was started with a sizable donation of seed money from the Dalai Lama after his 2005 campus visit to discuss fostering scientific study of human emotion.
Knutson and his team asked the monks and nuns to lie down in the MRI scanner and look at a series of human faces projected above their eyes. He asked them to withhold emotion and look at some of the faces neutrally, and for others, to look and show compassion by feeling their suffering.
Next he flashed a series of abstract paintings and asked his subjects to rate how much they liked the art. What the monks and nuns didn't know was that Knutson was also flashing subliminal photos of the same faces before the pictures of the art.
"Reliably they like the art more if the faces they showed compassion to came before it," Knutson said, "Which leads to a hypothesis that there is some sort of compassion carryover happening."
Extending compassion
Next Knutson asked the Buddhists to practice a style of meditation called "tonglen," in which the person extends compassion outward from their inner circle, first to their parent, then to a good friend, then to a stranger and last to all sentient beings. He wants to see whether brain activity changes depending on different types of compassion.
"There's a concern that scientists might be 'trying to prove meditation,' but we are scientists trying to understand the brain," said Matthew Sacchet, a neuroscience doctoral student at Stanford working with Knutson.
"The research has important possibilities for medicine, and also it could get rid of some of the fuzz and help make meditation more empirically grounded," he said. "If there is some kind of underlying structure to be understood scientifically, it could make things more clear for everyone."

I'm thoroughly fatigued. When I squint, my eyes feel sore. I am reassuringly, duck-feather cushioned on the sofa at home with my feet up, blanket thrown on my legs and scented candles are flickering whilst gentle aromas of sandalwood fill my head. The fire sizzles as the flames dance and lull me to sleep, or very nearly. That glowing pulse of the wood and coal always does it for me.
Its 3pm and the sensory treat of golden, orange and red colours and fragrances are a rare treat, before a 4pm meeting.
It's worth it though, we had fabulous company for dinner last night and we laughed and chattered until the early hours. Unfortunately for them it's a school night and they work in the city. Oops.
So yesterday, I had some energy for meal-making, but that's purely from the love of doing it, rather than my physical levels of get-up-and-go. But you know me, I am not one for serving up a jacket-spuds, or fajita's (I read that under a dinner party section of a food website!) Some of the conversation at dinner, should revolve around the food, right? And some of the fun of it all is in the food…correct?
Luckily, I keep a few back-pocket recipes for easy meals that can form part of a casual meal that's more than a lasagne (again). This is a recipe which I sometimes pull out because it looks like a lot of effort (I like to flatter guests) but really isn't…and most importantly, it tastes gorgeous. You can't go wrong with huge pasta shells with a good stuffing in them. Don't worry about aubergine sensitive people, I have found that even they love it! Win-win.
I've bulk-made this one for parties, small and large get-togethers and the brilliance is that you can cook ahead the components and assemble it all at the last moment. Pull it out during this festive period and kick back…
Serves 4-6
25-30 conchiglioni shells
A good couple of handfuls of your favourite hard cheese (I used mature cheddar infused with pickled onions and mixed herbs)
For the stuffing
A large red onion, thinly sliced and shallow fried
3 medium sized aubergines
A 250g tub of Ricotta cheese
The spices; salt to taste, 1 ½ tsp. curry powder, 1 ½ tsp. smoked paprika, 1 tsp. cumin seeds, ½ tsp. garam masala
For the sauce
2 tins of plum tomatoes
2-3 fat cloves of garlic, finely chopped
A handful of freshly chopped basil
1 tsp. sugar
The spices; ½ tsp. black pepper, salt to taste, 2 tsp. paprika
Method for the stuffing
- Lightly grease, stab and then roast the aubergines in a hot oven (pre-heated to aprox 180 degrees), until they blister and shrivel. This should take about 40minutes.
- Allow the aubergines to cool, before skinning them and remove the pulp. Smooth it out with a knife to given an even consistency
- Blend the red onion to a puree. When you add this to the stuffing it will infiltrate a lovely sweetness that will help to lift the aubergine.
- Heat a deep pan with a couple of tablespoons of oil and then add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle. Then add the curry powder, paprika and allow them to infuse into the oil for about a minute. Don't allow the spices to brown, they should just glow orange and red.
- Add the aubergine pulp and the salt, garam masala and mix through thoroughly. Stir in the sweet red onion and mix again.
- Let the mixture cool to a room temperature whilst you prepare the rest of it
Boil the conchiglioni until el-dente and in the meanwhile, turn your attention to the sauce. When the pasta is el-dente, drain and leave it to a side.
Method for the Tomato Sauce
- Heat two tablespoons of oil and then add the chopped garlic and the paprika and allow the garlic to soften for a couple of minutes on a medium heat
- Mix in the chopped tomatoes and the salt and simmer
- Stir in the sugar and the black pepper
- Reduce the sauce for 4-5 minutes before adding the chopped basil.
when you are ready for assembly, add the ricotta cheese into the aubergine stuffing and mix it through thoroughly.
It couldn't get an easier.
- Pour the sauce evenly between your oven dishes
- Take a teaspoon, stuff the pasta shells with the aubergine stuffing and place into the tomato sauce
- Top the trays with cheese
- Bake in the oven for about 7-8 minutes at 180degrees, or until the pasta is soft enogh to pierce through with a knife
See…I told you it was easy!

Send a link to a friend
13Then little children were being brought to him
in order that he might lay his hands on them and
pray. The disciples spoke sternly to those who
brought them; 14but Jesus said, "Let the little
children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is
to such as these that the kingdom of heaven
belongs." 15And he laid his hands on them and went
on his way.
When was the last time you did this?
When was the last time you let that inner child
When was the last time you played? I don't mean
cards or that game on your phone. I mean, knees
dirty, tongue out, dirt under the finger nails type
of playing?
When was the last time you tried to catch a firefly
in a glass jar?
A scene from "the Jesus Storybook Bible." This
beautiful book, with its engaging artwork and
compelling story telling, can be found in the newly
remodeled First Presbyterian Church, Helen Musa
Rankin, library and reading room. Please come by and
check it out!
When was the last time you called time out from the
busyness of your day and just sat, while coloring a
When was the last time you prayed as a child? When
you didn't think about the "right way" or all the
different types and forms of prayer? When was the
last time you snuggled on the bosom of God and sat
wide-eyed or teary eyed at the feet of Jesus?
Perhaps this isn't your thing. Perhaps this practice
or thought of it is too much for you.
Then I ask, when was the last time you listened to the Spirit
whispering in your being?
When was the last time you tried something new?
You, at one time, were one of these little ones. In all honesty, you
still are.
So put aside that independent woman or tough guy persona and let God
take care of you.
Our faith can be stunted and frustrated if it remains content with
the bare externals of worship: "saying prayers," "going to church,"
being respectable. What God wants, how Jesus welcomes us, and the
way the Spirit leads us, is for us to enter into our faith, this
relationship with the Triune God, as children. Prayer is the
deepening of personal realization in love, but also awareness of God
(even if this awareness amounts to a perceived "absence").
As children engage with the world –without pretense, without fear,
and with wild, hopeful imagination-- so we should engage the
practice of prayer. Remember, prayer is not just a formula of words,
or a series of desires springing up in the heart, but the
orientation of our whole body, mind, and spirit to God in silence,
attention, and adoration.
So, when was the last time you did this?
May you come to remember that wide-eyed and wild imaginative child
that lives within. May you remember that God listens to you always.
Even when all you can pray is a whisper too quiet for words…
[Adam Quine, Pastor First Presbyterian Church in Lincoln]

Mobile Application Development - Best Practice #2
There are unique aspects to mobile applications that require an investment upfront in analyzing and planning the application development. Mobile applications are not successful if the approach is to take a desktop applications and simply squeeze into a smaller space. There are fundamental differences. The users, even though they may be from a common customer base, use and interact with the mobile device differently than with a desktop. The ability to communicate from anywhere and take the device anywhere changes their expectations. Mobile devices also have some very different but engaging technology on board that users expect to be integrated into applications. Technologies like voice, messaging (SMS), location information, maps, audio, video and others. The best mobile applications take advantage of these technologies to optimize users experience and how they interact with data.
A Best Practice to follow in mobile application development is to understand the techology requirements of the application and the application approaches available to meet these requirements.

The King's Hall at the former Lorsch Abbey in Hessen is a late Carolingian construction, probably built in the middle of the 9th century under Louis the German. Together with the other buildings and archaeological remains of the medieval abbey complex, the building was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991 as the last remaining section of the Carolingian abbey still visible from above ground.
The Border Complex in Schleswig-Holstein is regarded as a unique archeological testimonial of the Viking Age. From the 9th until the 11th century, early Medieval Hedeby was one of the most important maritime trading hubs and also one of the first cities in Northern Europe. A semi-circular wall protected the city from attackers. This was connected to the defensive system of Danevirke.
Aachen Cathedral was the very first site to be granted UNESCO World Heritage status in Germany, and with good reason: built in around 790 to 800, the cathedral is of world importance in terms of the history of art and architecture, and is one of the great examples of church architecture. The final resting place of Charlemagne, it was also where German emperors were crowned for 600 years.
The imperial cathedral in Speyer, officially known as the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Stephen, is the town's most prominent landmark. Laid out in the form of a Latin cross, it is one of Germany's largest and most important Romanesque buildings, and was intended to be no less than the largest church in the western world when building work began in 1030.
There have been churches on the site of Cologne Cathedral since the 4th century. However, it was not until 1248 that this city on the Rhine became home to one of the foremost cathedrals in the Christian world – a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. When it was completed in 1880, it was the tallest building in the world.
Naumburg Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul is regarded as a unique testimonial to medieval architecture and art. It was constructed in 1028 and finally expanded to a double chancel in the 13th century. The special combination of stained glass, architecture and sculpture makes the west choir a fascinating complete work by the Naumburg master mason. Visitors can also admire the famous statue of Uta von Ballenstedt here.
Over a period of around 400 years, the monks built a remarkable monastery at Maulbronn, which became a distinguishing feature of the surrounding landscape. Today, this former Cistercian abbey, which is situated between Heidelberg and Stuttgart , is not only the most complete and best-preserved monastic complex north of the Alps, it is also a particularly fine example of medieval architecture and, since 1993, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
St. Michael's Church and St. Mary's Cathedral in Hildesheim near Hannover are two outstanding examples of early-Romanesque architecture. Both churches symbolise the heyday of religious art in the Holy Roman Empire, exemplify the creative skill of Bishop Bernward and are blessed with a wealth of famous historical art treasures.
Three Romanesque churches from the 9th to the 11th century attest to the significance of the former Benedictine abbey on the Monastic Island of Reichenau in Baden-Württemberg . Founded in 724, it quickly developed into one of the most important monasteries in southern Germany. The monastic tradition can still be seen today in the unique religious festivals and processions that take place on the island.
The Pilgrimage Church of the Scourged Saviour at the foot of the Alps is considered a perfect example of Bavarian rococo architecture. Around one million visitors come here every year from all over the world – to look, marvel, pray, attend services, enjoy the summer concerts and, of course, for quiet contemplation.
On 21st June 2014, the former Benedictine monastery of Corvey, in Höxter Westphalia, became the 39th location in Germany to be awarded the UNESCO World Heritage title. And rightly so, because it is an historical art treasure of inestimable value. The former imperial Abbey with its nearly 1,200 year history is regarded as one of the most important monastic foundations in medieval Germany.

The conduct of epidemiologic research involves the study of the distribution of disease and/or injury in human populations. The M.S. in Epidemiology degree is designed specifically for students interested in in-depth training and knowledge of the research techniques appropriate to conducting epidemiologic studies in a particular concentration of health research. Master's-level epidemiologists may work in applied settings conducting disease surveillance and outbreak investigations or in research settings developing and evaluating research hypotheses generated to understand the effects of behavioral, biological, environmental, and social factors on human health. Since Epidemiology is the principal science underlying disease prevention and control programs, this training is also a basic component for other degree and training programs in public health and preventative medicine.
Time Limit for Degree Completion: 3 years
Courses are also offered at the Center City and Health Sciences Center campuses.
The program is designed to accommodate both full-time and part-time students. While the time limit for degree completion is set at 3 years, full-time students are expected to earn their degree within 2 years; part-time students are granted the additional year.

To be honest I haven't had much time of late for blogging or much else, other than Christmas related stuff (where does the time go ?) seems it was just about summer last time I looked, now it's two weeks until Christmas day !
But I've tried to carry on the family tradition of making stuff for the festive season, so I managed to make a couple of things on my lathe in the way of decorations.
First up, not very elaborate, but quite pleasing none the less -
I made two -
But I've tried to carry on the family tradition of making stuff for the festive season, so I managed to make a couple of things on my lathe in the way of decorations.
First up, not very elaborate, but quite pleasing none the less -
|It kind of resembles a Christmas tree.
I made two -
|Not quite the same as the last one, but similar.
As wood turning goes these are pretty basic, more or less tree shaped (as in Christmas tree) with a twisted loop of copper wire as a means to hang them on the tree, I made them from bits of scrap wood (Pear in this case) and just gave them a bit of a polish with beeswax.
The next item, and most likely the last thing I'll make this year (unless I suddenly find myself with free time) is a snow man, and I made all the parts on my lathe, even the tiny nose, I used copper pins for the eyes and buttons.
Meet Frosty -
|My wife's handy work in the background, this years Yule log.
I decided making a snowman would be a fun thing to do, although I have to say I'm not sure I've quite got the dimensions right, but it does resemble a snowman, sort of.
Here's a picture of the components -
|All made from Pine and on my lathe.
And as you may have noticed from the picture he is also a storage box, perfect for hiding a few sweets in.
The only thing I didn't make was the copper pins I used for it's eyes and buttons, and the lacquer I used to coat it with, I could have gone the whole hog and painted it white and then used different colours for it's nose,eyes and buttons, but I quite like the way it looks in plain wood, I could have spent more time on the finish and used some of the polishes I normally use on other stuff, but figured it would get a lot of attention from the kids, so I didn't go too mad on the finish, and besides I can always paint it next year and it'll be new all over again.
I think he cuts quite a dashing profile myself -
|Might have to make the body segments a little more rounded next time.
There are loads of things you can make for Christmas, and a variety of materials you can use, and it doesn't have to cost a load of money either, I'm lucky in that I have a lathe and various other tools which allow me to make stuff like this, but it could just as easily have been made from clay, or paper, or even knitted.
Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year.
Thanks for reading.

Trooper who hit bikers put on desk duty
Investigation into crash continues
An Ohio trooper whose patrol vehicle struck two people on a motorcycle in southwest Ohio has been put on administrative duty while a grand jury considers whether he should face charges.
Authorities say the motorcyclists were wearing helmets and escaped serious injury in the crash last month on U.S. 35 near Xenia.
The Dayton Daily News reports a grand jury in Greene County will decide whether 30-year-old Trooper Jacob Daymon is charged in the crash.
A State Highway Patrol spokeswoman says Daymon has no prior work crashes and has a clean disciplinary record since he joined the agency in 2007.
The motorcyclists, Corey and Amy Waldman of Beavercreek, have said they consider it an accident and have no hard feelings against Daymon. Amy Waldman suffered a broken foot.

Sleep laboratories
There are many people that suffer from sleep disorders. These disorders often result in daytime sleepiness, affecting a patient's quality of life considerably.
Sleep laboratories are a possible means to examine and help these patients. They are medical institutions for the purpose of studying sleep behaviour, with specially equipped patient rooms monitored from a centrally located control room which houses the monitoring and recording equipment.
All through the night various bodily functions such as respiration, eye movement, brainwaves, muscle tension and oxygen saturation of the blood are recorded and documented. Based on these measurements, an accurate profile of the individual sleep stages, such as awake state, rapid eye movement (REM sleep) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM or non-REM sleep), can be prepared the next morning. From this profile, inferences can be drawn concerning the quality of sleep and possible factors that may be affecting it detrimentally.
KVM extension and switching in sleep labs
During a sleep study, laboratory staff are stationed at the control room and continuously monitor each patient. The patient information converges on a monitor at this central location.
With the aid of KVM extender technology, data from the test equipment in the individual bedrooms is transmitted directly to the control room. For example, the values of the measured brain activity or the oxygen saturation levels of the blood are transmitted from the KVM transmitter to the receiver. If necessary, monitoring can be supplemented with acoustic signals.
The KVM switching function allows the sleep laboratory staff to directly switch to the computer that is monitoring a certain patient and conduct a more detailed analysis of the measured parameters.
4-in-1 video scalers - monitor four patients on one display.
To display the results clearly, 4-in-1 video scalers facilitate the graphical arrangement of four patient data sets on a single large monitor. Via KVM extension and switching, all analysing equipment can be freely arranged on the display. If more than four video signals should be monitored simultaneously, cascading video scalers provides the option of displaying up to 16 signals. The display can also be mirrored to other rooms.
Other settings in medical environments can benefit from KVM extension and switching technology as well. Visit the sections on patient monitoring and laboratory automation for more information.

Metro-North regular service returned to normal on Wednesday morning, five days after the train crash and derailment involving Metro-North Railroad trains near Bridgeport on Friday, May 17.
Patrick Coughlin, of West Haven, was one of the commuters traveling by train on Wednesday morning.
"I drove to work Friday. Monday, I was about an hour and a half late, so it wasn't too bad," he said.
A track inspection car did a run-through just before 3 p.m. on Tuesday.
"With one of the two damaged tracks rebuilt and returned to service, beginning with the 3:07 p.m. departure from Grand Central Terminal, Metro-North will operate about half of the regular eastbound PM peak service and regular hourly westbound service with the 4:23 PM train from New Haven," Metro-North said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Amtrak has also resumed service between New York and New Haven today.
Work has been going on around the clock since Saturday night, when the National Transportation Safety Board completed its initial investigation of the scene and allowed Metro-North to begin removing the two 8-car trains, according to the MTA.
Malloy conceded that traffic on Connecticut's highways was not as congested as had been predicted, but urged people to carpool or work from home on Tuesday to avoid major problems.
"We are confident that the reconstruction work, inspection and testing will be completed in time for a normal rush hour on Wednesday," said Howard Permut, president of Metro-North. "We are grateful for the tireless work of all departments and employees engaged in this huge task."
About 100 workers have been on the job around the clock since Saturday removing the damaged trains and repairing the track, Permut said. Crews are rebuilding about 2,000 feet of track, according to Permut.
The National Transportation Safety Board authorized the removal of rail cars from the crash site on Saturday night, allowing the investigation and clean-up process to proceed. All rail cars were removed by Sunday afternoon and taken to the Bridgeport railyard, according to the NTSB.
Investigators are looking into a broken part of the rail that underwent repairs last month, but have not determined whether it was a pre-existing fracture or if it occurred as a result of the accident, according to NTSB spokesperson Earl Weener, who spoke at a news conference on Saturday afternoon. The board said the FBI has ruled out foul play in the investigation.
The trains were traveling at approximately 70 mph at the time of the crash, which is the posted speed limit, according to the NTSB.
Malloy and other officials spoke at a news conference on Saturday morning where they described a grisly scene after a Metro-North commuter train heading east from New York City derailed and was hit by an oncoming train heading west from New Haven.
"The damage is absolutely staggering," Sen. Blumenthal said. "Ribbons on the sides of cars are torn away like ribbons of clothes."
The NTSB's investigation could take seven to 10 days but that does not mean that service shutdown will take that long, board spokesman Earl Weener said..
The eastbound Metro-North train derailed just after 6 p.m. and was hit between the Bridgeport and Fairfield stations, officials said.
According to Metro-North, around 750 people rode the shuttle trains and boarded buses at Bridgeport to Stamford, which is 20 percent of the 4,000 people who ordinarily board trains at New Haven, Milford and Stratford during the morning peak.
However, overall morning peak ridership on the entire New Haven Line was down just 20 percent, indicating that many people drove to other stations to catch a train.
Metro-North has set up a toll-free number for customers on the trains involved in Friday's crash to provide assistance. Call at 1-800-638-7646 for information on referral/support services, lost & found items and assistance with any paperwork.
Service Plan
The New Haven Line Service plan is posted on the MTA Web site.

I know I am OT here but I was wondering whether I could get some comments on salvage value for equipment. I am appraising a large mixed-use property that includes a restaurant. I appraise real estate, not fixtures and equipment. This restaurant seats 98 peeps, there is a walk-in, two small free standing fridges, two ranges with 16 burners and ovens underneath, exhaust system, etc. No washing machinery. Appraisers make a distinction between value in use and salvage value. Sometimes the cost to move and reinstall makes the value of the stuff very low. Can any owner's out there comment on the interest, if you were buying this stuff and moving, you might have? This equipment doesn't look new, maybe ten years old, but it is in working condition.

Looks like a solid program Lisa, welcome back up into the wagon. My only suggestion is to go ahead and enjoy 2% milk in your coffee and tea. The caloric difference for a few tablespoons is negligible and coffee and tea with skim milk is nasty IMO. That's the level of micromanaging that I think often makes people fall off the wagon. The diet sounds great and I know you can make just about anything taste great.

I've got a couple of the old "potato-masher" Strobonar flashes, which I recall as being *extremely* bright compared to most modern electronic flash units. One has a clip-on mount that fits an under-camera bracket I got with the flashes. I also have one (long dead) 510V battery and the connection unit and cord for it, and can pretty readily build a replacement battery to use the cheap alkaline button cells I can buy locally at 10/$1 (340 cells will cost a good bit less than this dead 510 V unit did when it was new).
However, given these units are at least 35 years old, I expect to need to replace the flash capacitors. I know enough about this to do the job safely, but I'm not sure how to proceed in opening the plastic Strobonar handle unit's case without damaging anything. Can anyone point to photos, diagrams, or instructions for opening one of these to replace the capacitor (assuming it doesn't reform after I apply voltage)?

It would help if you mentioned a model number...
If you're talking about the 6xx, 7xx and 8xx models, you've got some work cut out. I've taken a couple apart (and back together) but never to replace the capacitors. I don't think I'd want to?
The front bezel is held on by snap clips and not too difficult to remove once you know where to press and which directions. Sorry, I don't remember...
The top circuit board comes loos with the screws visible from the battery compartment.
I vaguely remember another board inside sitting on top of the capacitors? May be a different flash?
To completely remove everything is tedious and the wiring is a pain. The slide switch isn't difficult to get out but another pain to get back in.
I _think_ I have a service manual from possibly the 770 series which may help. I don't have a pdf version and getting it scanned might take a while. The computer connected to the scanner seems to be fairly full at the moment... And I'd have to locate the manual. But it could be done within the week or so, hopefully?
I don't think the handle slipts for capaitor access. I believe they come out the top which is yet another pain...
And I could be wrong, but I thought the high voltage units with the 510v batteries didn't use the capacitors? I don't own one so I never bothered to check into...
Let me know if you need the manual or pages from it...

Thanks, I didn't even realize there were different models; one of these is an 800, the other a Pressmaster 800.
My understanding is that the 510V battery supply is just connected directly to the capacitor (no need for an oscillator circuit to step up the voltage), which gives *awesome* fast recycles (like around 5 seconds) even in absence of a thyristor. Looking more closely, there is another set of holes just forward of the 510V connector, though I don't know if that's for an external head, multi-flash synch cord, external low-voltage power supply, or what. I also see that there's a battery tray inside the head that comes out by squeezing a couple tabs, looks like it would take 4xC cells, but has no contacts (easily corrected, I'd think, but polarity could be an issue -- I see contacts inside the head, so if I can power the unit from the extrnal battery I might be able to put a meter on those contacts and see which way the C cells should connect, if these models are actually capable of running on those).
With that tray removed, I see three screws holding a panel at the front of the cavity (or holding the reflector/lens in place), and two more holding a molded panel that fits the bottom of the battery tray, with the neon ready light between them.
Given no contacts on the battery trays, I don't know if these units even have the oscillator step-up supply that most of us are used to in "modern" strobes, though I think I'll be able to tell if/when I get the panel under the tray out.
Under the principle that someone had to assemble this thing, the capacitor pretty much has to come out through the head, unless the bottom plate comes out -- I see a couple little indents in the sides of that bottom plate, might be worth looking more closely there.
When you can get to it, I'd greatly appreciate seeing a PDF (or even just raw scans) of the manual you have -- it should give me a start. Making a 510V battery is trivial -- handling a large flash capacitor is not...

If your Strobonar has the capacitor in the handle, similar to my Auto 770's, the bottom with the two little indentations is easily popped off with a couple of screwdrivers. It's glued or plasti-welded on. Once removed you then can shove the capacitor up through the top with a little coaxing. I like to attach a clip lead to the terminals of the cap to make sure it stays discharged. Caps have been known to take a partial charge from solar, cosmic, or whatever, radiation.

If your 800s are the same as my 770 & 780 units the battery tray takes "sub C" nicad cells which are charged by a plug in AC power pack. My units have the plus contact to the right and the polarity of each cell is moulded in to the tray under the batterys.

Aaah. Okay, these might well be sub-C, I haven't checked them. Given there are no straps or contacts, I don't know that I'd expect to find the oscillator supply on the flash circuit board; OTOH, the self-contained battery unit might have been sold separately, and wouldn't have been first choice for those who could use the 510V belt battery, since the big one would give both longer life and much faster recycle. Either way, I'll have to take it apart a bit after getting the necessary bits together to extract the capacitors and ensure they're safely discharged.
I also note there's no synch cord with this set, and it's not no-brain obvious where to plug it in -- I see some holes just behind the bezel on the bottom of the head, with a red button that looks like a "test" button; is that the synch connector? If so, I might have to fabricate something to adapt a household cord (since I have a couple household-to-PC extensions around).
However, I think I'll start by building a battery unit and putting 340 of these little LR44 alkalines in it, to see if the capacitors will reform. I've got a much smaller "consumer" strobe, probably 10 years newer thans these Strobonar units, that reformed pretty nicely (though the original NiCd cells in that are completely shot, it charges and fires nicely on the 120V supply cord).

Did you say 340 LR44 batteries? Did they cost more than the flash?
I wonder if you could stack them in shrink tubing ...

Well, given the flash units cost, IIRC, ten bucks at a yard sale 10-15 years ago, yeah, I guess $34 worth of batteries would be more than the flash -- but at 10/$1, the 340 LR44 cells aren't all that painful; the original 510V carbon-zinc stacks cost close to that price in the 1960s.
I was thinking of Lucite or polystyrene tube to carry the cells; shrink tube is too flexible. I'm intending for this to allow for replacement of the cells when they run down, as I hope to use the flash semi-regularly once I get it back up to snuff.

I have a Strobonar 880 that was intended to be used with the Eveready 497 510 volt battery, or with an AC adapter, and not with the four Sub-C NiCads in the battery compartment. In fact, the manual describes the battery tray as a handy storage tray for the sync cord. If the 800 is the same, you should find three rectangular holes underneith and just behind the bezel. and two small round holes. The rectangular holes are for a sync cord with household plug, inserted either way with one prong in the center. the two small holes are for plugging in a Prox-o-light (flash ring around the lens).

The surgery I just had is more commonly known as a double mastectomy (with axillary node exploration) with TRAM/DIEP reconstruction. However, when I showed up to my pre-surgery check-in, I was asked to describe my surgery in my own words. Having had a lot of experience with this cancer stuff, I repeated the above sentence. So the nurse pressed – NO, in YOUR own words. Well then, I said, I am having the "Humpty Dumpty Surgery!" I think she wrote this in my chart.
I realize that I was not entirely prepared for the extent the surgery would cripple my body if only temporarily. In fact, although I am a thorough, "Type A" personality, (ok, controlling would be a better description), I figured that learning all about the surgery in advance wouldn't really do that much for me? I was having it. I had made my decision. So when I saw the surgery in 3-D on the Internet and read the first 108 stories of women who have had this surgery and are still miserable after one year, I knew it was time to stop "learning" about this particular aspect. I'd have to place some trust in the professionals I had chosen to guide me.
When I was mentally preparing for surgery, I couldn't have been farther from the reality of the bus that was about to run me over. My surgeon (who I see more often than my own family) told me I was one of his most entertaining patients (not really what I was going for here). And that I wasn't a very good listener. I told him I had been working on my listening skills since college when a close male friend told me the same thing in 1986. Apparently I haven't progressed much since then. I ask a lot of questions and don't really wait for the full answer because I am afraid he's going to rush out of the room before I can check off my list.
So today when I was there, there was another woman in for a consultation on the same surgery by the same (truly gifted and brilliant) surgeon. They asked if I would speak to her and show her my results. So when she didn't want to see my new breasts or my long abdominal scar, I asked her how I could help her. She said she wanted to know if I had any pain during my recovery - ANY PAIN?! I couldn't move for the first seven days and for the next three weeks, just sitting up was an effort – but I couldn't quite bring myself to tell her that. I could see how afraid she was of the surgery and so while I could not lie, I told her about my denial system. You are going to have the surgery, right? Yes, she said. So what is the point in focusing all your attention on all the things that can go wrong and how some people take forever to recover? Just get yourself to your best personal place and jump in! Sign up some family and friends for the first few weeks after surgery to help. Steal my line, "This is a marathon, not a sprint!"
I actually told everyone not to visit me at the hospital, not to come see me before the surgery or the week after, but if they really want to help me, drop by in a week or two with dinner. Or feel free to come by and do the dishes or chase my daughter around the yard or park. (My yard is actually the size of a parking space since I live in Southern California so the yard part is not really that big of a help)! I have finally progressed to what it feels like having a dull toothache over your entire body. You know it's there, but it's not that bothersome anymore. Today is five weeks exactly. I cannot tell you the pure joy of going to sleep to have your breasts removed and waking up and having some right there in the exact same spot where the others used to be (and having them be just a little more perky than the ones they replaced). Breast reconstruction has come a long way in the last 30 years.

Second-Quarter Growth Revised Upward
GDP Grew at 2.5% Annual Rate
The U.S. economy entered the second half of the year on firmer footing than previously estimated, with stronger growth, an uptick in corporate profits and consumers feeling better amid a rebound in housing.
But the outlook for the rest of the year is clouded by the threat of renewed budget battles in Washington, rising mortgage rates, weaker foreign markets, and a Mideast crisis that is pushing up oil prices.
To Read the Full Story


text: In 1994, Richard Paul Evans, then an unknown writer, self-published a short book entitled The Christmas Box. That book went on to become an international bestseller, selling more than seven million copies and touching the lives of many more people along the way. The Christmas Box Miracle is the story behind the book that has become a Christmas classic: how a man writes and publishes a book which helps grieving people to heal and lost souls to find their way home. It is Evans's story: his own spiritual journey and stories of people he encountered along the way -- miraculous stories of healing and divinity that often defy explanation. In sharing the story behind The Christmas Box, Richard Paul Evans has given us a story of miracles, hope and healing for all seasons.

Every once in a while I meet someone who used to be vegan, but for whatever reason, eats meat again. I am always surprised by this, but I don't worry. I know the vegan diet is not a temporary fad.
I, like you, have met countless people who tried Atkins and now eat carbs, tried Weight Watchers and no longer count points, tried the Zone Diet and no longer eat their food in perfect ratios. In fact, when a friend tells us they are starting a new diet, we expect they will not stick with it. Studies show that only a tiny fraction of dieters ever succeed in keeping weight off in the long run.
But most people I know who have gone vegan never go back to eating meat and dairy products. In fact, only a tiny fraction of vegans I have ever met have not succeeded in sticking with the diet. It happens, but only so rarely that I am surprised when I do hear about it!
Why is it that the vegan diet, which is seemingly so strict, has so many life-long converts? I think the reason lies in the motives: People who want to lose weight so they look better simply don't have enough motivation to stick with it; vanity clearly isn't as important as we might think or people would have the motivation to stick with fad diets. So they try diet after diet, but continually fail. However, people who learn about the ethical reasons for going vegan (animal cruelty and environmental impact, for example) have plenty of motivation; they can envision the cruelty that went in to the meat sitting on the end of their fork, for example, and literally cannot get themselves to eat it anymore. I am not an overly dramatic person, but I cannot even walk through the meat section in the grocery store anymore. All I can see when I look at the meat cases are animals that have slaughtered, often while still alive. So, in an interesting twist of irony, people who end up caring about something other than themselves often find all the motivation they need to stick with the seemingly strict vegan diet, and never look back.
As the vegan diet gains popularity, I think we'll see more people try and fail, but only because they are trying it to follow a fad, hoping it will get them looking like Kathy Freston. For those who actually read vegan literature or watch vegan documentaries that go beyond just the weight loss benefits of a vegan diet, I think they will stick with it, because they will finally have sufficient motivation. This is the exact reason why I started by book, Vegan in 30 Days, with a chapter on "What is Your Motivation?" You need a strong motivation to make any change. But what I have found over and over again is that if you have the right motivation, you will not need any willpower. Being vegan will become effortless with just a little bit of dedication up front.
To get all the motivation you need, try reading these books and watching these documentaries. This is not a complete list, so if I've left your favorite off the list, make sure you comment and tell everyone what it is!

All White (Almost) Everything
What I'm Wearing
Earrings: ALDO | Necklace: Talbots | Belt: Sears
Top: thrifted | Shorts: F21 | Flats: Express
Sooooo.... I was definitely supposed to put this post up about TWO WEEKS AGO... but that thing called LIFE happened... I'm so busy nowadays... as well as restricted to what I can wear in the classroom. So I've had to interpret my chocolate laced-ness in a different way: Teacher friendly.
This outfit is what my weekend outfits will look like until it gets too cold to be this cute. ;)
By the way, being an eighth grade math teacher is absolutely awesome. I love it! I miss blogging, though. I need to find balance in my life. When that happens, I'll be able to return to my Super Woman ways. :)
Check out the other ladies that were part of this super fun blogger collaboration:

Neutrinos may not travel faster than light, but that doesn't mean they can't be put to good use. By sending encoded pulses of neutrinos on a 10,000 km shortcut directly through the Earth, financial firms and high-frequency trading companies think they can get a 44-millisecond communication advantage over their competitors.
That might not sound like much of an edge, but in a world where hundreds of millions of dollars change virtual hands in just fractions of a second, even milliseconds become significant.
"Thirty milliseconds is a lot of time in high-velocity trading," explains former J.P. Morgan Chase options trader Espen Gaarder Haug in an interview with Forbes Magazine.
According to Haug, cities with the greatest distance between them would stand to gain the biggest time boost. Communication between New York and Tokyo would see a 23.7 millisecond time advantage; communications between London and Sydney would see almost double that.
Of course, financial institutions still need the infrastructure to make this all happen, which would basically require a particle accelerator beneath any firm that wanted in on the latest, greatest trading trend. And while that's not likely to happen anytime soon, something tells us that as soon as one of these firms takes the plunge on neutrino-communication, the rest of them are liable to follow suit.
